By the way, if you have to wonder whether or not something is racist -- then it most likely is.
Why is so much racism tolerated here?

Wrong. 95% of stuff people call racist is either facts, or merely not PC, or prejudice at most.
Example of fact based prejudice which is 0% racist but would be called racist by stupid people:
You have 2 people on the sidewalk at night - one black and one white. Which sidewalk would you choose to walk by? Based on the fact that black people commit much more crimes than white you would choose white one. That is just prejudice based on facts.
Yet most of the libbies would call it racism.
Some libbies even assume that anything that separates races are racism. For example "Asians are the smartest", Blacks are the best athletes etc. That is not racist, that is just stating something about races.
Racism is when you claim that person is better than another person based on his race.Comment

the fact that i dont have the time and motivation to argue with a group of people where i don't even know who they are
i came here often to relax, have a laugh or even debate politics
now i have to be afraid that when I post my opinion people take my name, put things in my mouth and damage my reputation. Like Meta Man did. Have you seen him recently btw?
and i have no time for this shitComment

Exactly. The incessant unmoderated hate speech on here makes it very difficult to join in even casual conversations, let alone consider discussing business. I have come to assume that the owners and advertisers on GFY prefer it this way. If the advertisors don't put their foot down, it will remain this way. The only power the individual has is to not promote these advertisors.it's pretty simple - this board is in the hands 10-15 anonymous posters that turned it into a race baiting, hate filled dumpster
industry people still hang out together and talk, just in other places
if that was the goal: congrats.
i would love to contribute here more again but not when non-industry related asswipes drag my name in the mud just because their bigotted little minds cannot grasp anything outside their very limited horizonsComment

Most of us don't like being Trolls or TrollBait.

When you decry politically correctness you're really mourning the fact that the world no longer tolerates your bigoted ass.Comment

That's not true. It's widely accepted that PC has backfired. You can't tell people what they cant say when from day one you were raised with the notion that this is a free country. Now granted freedom of speech doesn't extend to me yelling fire in a crowded elevator, but it does it the damn thing is on fire. I think the people who hate pc are aggravated because there was a time when truth was important, when facts were inportant. Now you can't say something because someones feelings are in jeopardy? Bullshit. Anyone who lets their tongue be chastened by PC is just a gimp of the liberal media. PC is really just the world admitting that certain groups of people are better than others but it's no longer acceptable to be proud of that and who you are. That's PC righr thereComment

Define low income radicalized communities. Or are you saying a bunch of black panthers would get together and share a pc? Even so, that's an amusing picture. I'm talking about the average urban kid. Most didn't have access to the internet in the late 90's. Look at pc prices back then. And as for your last sentence, yes pretty much because you know there is no middle ground if you try and bring PC bs to a placw like this. The same as how pc only works in certain institutions-- not all, and you were tricked into thinking that it does.@Duke, for real, you get points for having a jStor account. no shade, props. for real y'all, so much good reading there
you do realize that there are Black peeps beyond colleges in the US though? and you do realize that access to internet is/was informal in low income racialized communities right from the beginning? Like peeps congregating in one household with the tech, to use it? It's not that Black peeps were late to the internet, it just wasn't as widely available for poor peeps period, in home.
Look at your own graph, Black students used the internet at school more heavily than white peeps. Why? Dollaz.
Even if Black peeps were complete Luddites initially (which is NOT the case, your own stats indicate that) like this space needs to be some version of Stormfront-lite just cuz you think you were here 'first'?
Sorry, no.Comment

Then feel free to fuck off.
Again, most of who? Why are you grouping everyone into "us"?
It's like me saying that GFY is a racist-only board and most of us dont want your kind (libfags) here.
Stop generalizing everyone based on your sick liberal mentality.Comment

The number of experts on black people who don't even know the phone number of black person is amazing.
Most of the experts know more about black people than black people know.
This is true because experts about black people just make shit up.

Fine, how about I don't like being a Troll or being TrollBait. That better?
But thanks for showing a good example of exactly what I was talking about.
